Soul Station
HANK MOBLEY
TRACKLIST
SYNOPSIS
Often hailed as Mobley’s masterpiece, Soul Station distills everything that made the tenor saxophonist a cornerstone of the Blue Note sound. Backed by a dream lineup—Art Blakey on drums, Wynton Kelly on piano, and Paul Chambers on bass—Mobley delivers a warm, lyrical set that balances soulful swing with bop sophistication. The title track alone is a hard bop anthem, while the session as a whole showcases Mobley’s signature blend of subtle fire and melodic grace. A definitive record for both jazz newcomers and seasoned collectors.
